Definitions

• the present invention relates to photostabilization of synthetic polymers and the protection of human skin from sunlight radiations.
• UV radiations are noxious to human skin; in particular radiations having wavelength between 290 and 320 nm, so-called UV-B radiations, which cause erythema and sunburns, whose severity depends on the length of exposition.
• Hydrolysis can cause unwanted alterations of the cosmetic formulation, such as for example pH and/or color variations, destabilization of the formulation with formation of precipitates and/or coagulates and subsequent loss of activity and impossibility of use.
• the sunscreens, or the photostabilizing agents must have high absorption on a wide wavelength band.
• aniline derivatives of symmetric triazines not only have high absorption capacity for the ultraviolet radiations but also are highly resistant to hydrolysis.
• R and R 1 can be the same or different and are C 1 -C 18 straight or branched alkyl, C 5 -C 12 cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one or more C 1 -C 4 alkyl;
